AMD acquires startup Taalas for AI chips

AMD has announced the acquisition of the startup Taalas, which works on innovative chip technologies for artificial intelligence. Taalas's technology is designed to enable the integration of weighting language modeling networks into silicon-based architectures, which is expected to enhance performance in data processing tasks.

Taalas's chips fundamentally differ from existing solutions, such as NVIDIA GPUs and AMD Instinct processors, as they pursue a new approach to calculating tensor operations. This approach could significantly improve the efficiency of AI applications.
